Yep.. I got vacation starting this weekend 10-13 through 10-18.. going to be hitting Orange county pretty hard.. near Patoka. Was planning on hunting Franklin county this morning.. but it was really warm and raining... and I'm not to fond of sitting in a treestand in 30mph winds. We'll see what it looks like for this eveningthough.
Went out last Wednesday and Sunday and didn't see a single deer (been really warm though)... but could have limited out on squirrels several times over. Can't wait till they start picking that corn!!!

My farmer won't pick corn until almost rut time... double whammy!
I didn't see much the last couple times out either, just the one I missed the opportunity to shoot at and a few I kicked up walking to the stand. I figure if I were a deer in 75 degrees, I'd be laying down in the shade somewhere until it cooled down.
We have the winds and rain too... it's a bummer, but at least it brought colder temps with it.

Waiting on picking corn??? DANG!! farmers are almost done pickin beans down in southern indiana!! We are starting to get some very nice weather. Bucks are starting to respond to rattln and gruntn. Saw a very nice 12 pt. with a drop tine and kicker comin off of the drop tine. It is a very unique buck.... Had some bad luck when it comes to bucks though. I shot a very nice 8 pt. and let it die over night. Went in the next morning and some other hunter or someone had cut off its head leaving the body for the coyotes!! Talk about being pissed off!!! If i ever find the person, ill be in the newspaper!! haha

Damn, that reallysucks!
I mowed my yard Monday, today it is covered with leaves. With that said, I can't wait to see what these winds are doing to the trees up on our hunting land. Maybe I'll be able to see farther than 4' in a couple spots.

I hear ya, Pat. If leaves woulda been down, that deer Sunday night woulda been dead.
They are picking beans here too, but they don't take the corn out til later... usually around Halloween.

Only corn is standing up where I hunt..which blows. When the corn is gone, a average day consists of several deer within bow range.
BTW, wifey is letting me hunt Friday IF the weather holds out. Errr..I shouldn't say "letting" though...because um..I'm the man..and I told her where to go...yeah...that's right....
